ROYAL BLOOD

“The best moment of our lives.”

Royal Blood took to the Pyramid Stage off of the back of the release of their second album ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’ which went straight to Number One, celebrated by the duo with champagne showers on stage! The crowd was HUGE, the set was even BIGGER! It was filled with monster riffs, insane drum skills, a toast to their and a great mix of old and new tracks including: ‘Come On Over’, ‘Lights Out’ and ‘I Only Lie When I Love You’ which you can watch here:

STORMZY

“This is one, if not the biggest gig I’ve done in my short career”

Stormzy smashed out one of the best sets on The Other Stage. He took the opportunity to address various issues from the past few months, in between performing tracks from his debut album ‘Gang Signs and Prayer’ including: ‘Blinded By Your Grace’, ‘Cold’ before closing his set with ‘Shut Up’. Watch ‘Big For Your Boots’ here:

DUA LIPA

“That was the craziest moment of my life. Glastonbury I will remember this until the day I die”

Dua Lipa continued to show why she is one of the hottest names in music right now as she took to the John Peel Stage. She pulled one of the biggest crowds on Friday with fans pouring out of the packed tent. Her debut, self-titled album was released just a few weeks ago, jampacked with collaborations with the likes of Sean Paul, Miguel and Chris Martin of Coldplay which she included in her great set alongside her own massive hits ‘Hotter Than Hell’ and ‘Be the One’ which you can catch here:

CLEAN BANDIT

The trio took to the John Peel Stage to deliver one of the most electric sets of the weekend. Over the past few years, the band have become one of the biggest pop groups and their set proved why they’ve spent weeks at Number One! Their set was filled with tune after tune including ‘Rather Be’ and ‘Symphony’ as well as ‘Rockabye’ feat. Anne-Marie and new(ish) song ‘Disconnect’ feat. Marina (of ‘& the Diamonds’) which they first performed two years ago, but has now been release as a single! Listen back here:

CRAIG DAVID

“How far TS5 has come. Still hasn’t sunk in. The crowd were unbelievable. So grateful!”

Rocks favourite Craig David took to the Pyramid Stage for an hour long set filled with classics such as ‘Rewind’, ‘7 Days’ & ‘Fill Me In’. He introduced the crowd to TS5 where he remixed current songs and classic, putting his own twist on their infectious beats. Fans who caught his set had nothing but praise with one saying “Cried at Craig Davids humbling comeback”! He closed the set with ’16’! Watch ‘Ain’t Giving Up’:

RAY BLK

“Glastonbury was very emotional. Thank you for being an amazing crowd. I cried real tears.”

Ray BLK smashed out a very emotionally beautiful set at this years Glasto as she made her debut on the Silver Hayes stage. During her set she performed new tune (which we love!) ‘Doing Me’ but the highlight? Definitely ‘My Hood’ (her hit with Stormzy) live! Watch her Glastonbury Session for BBC Music here:

BLACK HONEY

“We promised ourselves we wouldn’t come to Glastonbury until we were invited to play”

… And they were invited to play, they came, they smashed the John Peel Stage! Front girl Izzy rocked some sparkly, glitter-tastic numbers, owning the stage and slaying the guitar. They had the whole crowd mesmerised, signing along to their latest singles ‘Somebody Better’ and ‘Hello Today’! Their set was full of energy, anthemic vocals and great tunes!

RATIONALE

“Still getting over my very first Glastonbury Festival… Playing to a packed overflowing tent was something else!”

Rationale; a synth-led RnB singer from Zimbabwe made his Glastonbury debut and smashed it! Performing on their William’s Green stage, Rationale had an overflowing stage as he performed hits including ‘Deliverance’ and ‘Reciprocate’ which you can watch a clip of here:

MULLALLY

Not only was Mullally performing at Glastonbury on The Rabbit Hole stage but, he was performing at Glastonbury on his birthday! And if that wasn’t enough, he was also performing on PRS stage! Two Glasto performances in one weekend! He performed two beautiful sets, featuring hits ‘Overdose’ and ‘Troubled Love’.
